Navigating within the Browser's History

window.history.back(); window.history.forward(); 

The browser history is represented by the history object (a property of the window object) and contains a list of web pages visited prior to (and, if available, after) the current page. And although it is technically possible to move a couple of elements within the history, security constraints leave only one viable way: going one page back and one page forward. The following two methods implement that:

• back() moves to the previous page in the history (like the back button does).

• forward() moves to the next page in the history (like the forward button does).
